Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone. After taking an hour to get up from 3.3 at 11.30pm hypo paranoia set in and I cancelled my extended bolus and reduced my basal.
3am 11.9 put basal back to normal
6.30am 19.1

I think my experiment with home made chicken satay definitely did not agree with the gastroparesis - but it was fun to make and delicious to eat :D

I hope you don’t feel to rough now.
We have to do these experiments don’t we :D
 
Morning all, another miserable 9.9 for me today. Booked a telephone appointment with the gp for later this morning.
 
Sorry to hear this Stitch. I hope the GP is able to help x
 
Morning all

9.9 here... more tweaking needed. Frustrating as levels through the day stay around 6 but then last thing at night I’m creeping up and staying there all night.
Another conversation with diabetes team today I think.

Schools are closed due to snow so a day of lego, painting and tv are on the cards today. Have a great Monday all.
 
Morning all, 6.4 here after the usual washing line overnight. Still lurgified and on a much higher basal than usual, also seeming to need more Bolus at mealtimes as well ( and I'm not eating very much - lost three Lbs since Thursday, just in time for the Christmas excesses, every cloud has a silver lining)
 
morning guys 🙂

very cold start to the day but no snow here unfortunately just a VERY thick frost :(

I'm waiting on 2 Ebay parcels this week AND I've to wait on more stuff for Bruce which includes yet another set of darts 🙄

Anyway was a 6.0 for me this morning

Hope you all have a nice day and stay warm and wrapped up my lovelies! :D xx
 
Good morning 7.7 this morning.
Have been fighting infection for awhile, but didn't start antibiotic until Friday night.
woke up at 3:30 this morning, drenched - we went into the guest bedroom. Can't cope with bed changing at that hour.
Now I'm a little more human feeling it occurred to me about medication...
I can't find the sick day rules. Can someone give me the link pls?
 
Morning all. A 4.8 for me this morning. We've ended up with 4 inches of snow(totally unheard of here) but now the roads and underfoot are ice 😱. Glad I don't have to go anywhere today other than walking the dogs🙂

Sorry to hear you’re not well, I hope you make a swift recovery.
 
Good morning all, no snow but 5.2 which I am thrilled about as numbers have been everywhere but where they are meant to be!
Working in London tonight and hoping last train to Bath is running tonight.
Have a wonderful week and those not feel feeling great, hope you feel better very soon.
 
Good evening folks ~ not had a very good day ~ difficulty connecting to the forum til now ~ and not feeling too great myself. Sometimes when I say "I'm okay," I need someone to look me in the eyes ~ hug me tight and say "I know you're not."

8.1 upon waking. Hope you're all keeping well and warm ~ 0°C here but feels more like sub zero. Take care x
Good morning @wirralass amd do hope you are feeling better this morning and get the medical help very soon.
Sending gentle hugs and keep warm.
 
Morning all, a 6.0 today - still got a slight touch of lurgy as have several friends, and Mr Marten is coughing and sneezing like a good 'un :(
 
Good Morning/Night/Morning Everyone.
Hope everyone slept well woke refreshed and are prepared for today’s opportunities.

Accu-Chek say 4.8
At 4.45am
Early start today, lots to do.
Wish all a trouble free night and brilliant day tomorrow

Live with passion.

Oh Deary Me!
I have just read my Metformin prescription after 3 months LOL.
I just recall my GP saying one per day and took it from there.
I was supposed to increase the dose to 2 after 1 week, didn't see that little part.
So,I should have been taking 2 per day, 1 with breakfast and 1 with dinner
I have only ever taken the morning one.
Seems to have made no difference.
Note to Vince "Read Instructions".
Just going to continue taking the Morning one seems to be working without the second tablet, done quite well without it.
Hey Ho!
I live and learn.

I did a similar thing, I increased the Metformin way to fast and landed in hospital. They changed my medicine after that. I think they didn't trust me to start over!
